Since its inception in 2001, the attorneys and staff of Lorenz & Lorenz LLP, have helped thousands of people recover money for their injuries

Firm Overview

Lorenz & Lorenz, L.L.P. is a personal injury law firm in Austin serving accident victims in Travis, Williamson and Hays counties as well as neighboring communities in central Texas. Our sole focus is helping clients through the legal process and maximizing compensation for the harm from someone's careless or reckless acts.

Accidents are our only business.

Since our inception in 2001, Lorenz & Lorenz has strictly represented people who were injured by the negligence of others, with an emphasis on car accidents and truck accidents. We don't practice in any other areas of the law, enabling us to stay up to date on the latest laws and trends pertaining to injury litigation.

Many firms that say they do personal injury only take accident cases as a sideline to their business litigation or family law practice. If you are hurt, you want a law firm that concentrates ONLY in personal injury law.

We have the experience and resources. Our attorneys have handled thousands of personal injury cases in and around Austin. We have represented clients with minor injuries, people who were permanently injured in wrecks, and families whose loved ones were killed by dangerous drivers. We have an in-house investigator and a network of medical and accident reconstruction experts we can draw on when necessary to support your claim.

We are respected. Three of our attorneys were selected as Rising Star Super Lawyers in 2009, as published in Texas Monthly magazine. Only 2.5% of attorneys in Texas earn this designation. Nominations come from other Super Lawyers who have personally observed them in action.

Each Client Is Our Most Important Client

Many times an injured person cannot come to our office, because their injuries prevent travel or because their vehicle was wrecked in the accident. We are happy to meet prospective clients at their home or in the hospital, seven days a week, with night appointments available. Of course, we are also glad to discuss your case here at our Austin office at your convenience. You can also feel confident that your case will be handled by an attorney, never passed off to paralegals, assistants or clerks.

Many injury victims are unsure where they can receive treatment for their particular type of injury, do not have health insurance, or do not know any physicians in the Austin area. Lorenz & Lorenz can assist clients by referring them to a doctor for treatment if necessary.

Our knowledgeable, friendly staff members aid in gathering the documentation for your claim, and can answer many of your questions. But all cases are reviewed and negotiated by a qualified attorney, not a legal assistant, and our attorneys will return your calls to address your concerns.

We are available 24/7 to explain your rights and discuss your claims in a free consultation. Most of our lawyers and staff speak Spanish. Call 877-LORENZ2 (877-567-3692) or contact us online.

We have handled every type of auto accident, including injury to pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcycle riders. We have won compensation for the full range of injuries, from soft tissue damage to permanent disability and wrongful death.

Our legal team has a simple philosophy: Each client is our most important client.

Ted graduated with a B.A. from the University of Texas in Austin and immediately enrolled in law school at the University of Houston. Prior to entering law school, Ted developed a strong interest in helping people who were hurt by the careless and negligent acts of others. During law school Ted took many courses designed to further his interest in using the law to help those who are injured. In an effort to help develop the trial skills that are extremely important in personal injury law, Ted competed in many mock trial competitions. Ted, along with his wife and partner Lesley, were finalists in the Hippard Mock Trial Competition and won the prestigious Hofeinz Tournament of Champions.

He has also been honored in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 as a Texas Rising Star. He is particularly proud of this recognition as Rising Stars are nominated and voted on by other attorneys who have personally observed them in action. Only 2.5% of the attorneys in Texas are listed as Rising Stars.

After law school Ted began his legal career as a trial attorney for a well known plaintiff's firm in Dallas, Texas. In 2001, Ted started his own law firm and was quickly joined by his wife Lesley. Early on Ted decided to concentrate his personal injury law firm on helping car wreck and truck wreck injury victims. To this day, Ted has only represented people who were hurt by the negligent and careless acts of others.
